I recorded the Grammy's , i wouldn't waste the night watching the stupid thing, now i can just fast forward past all the Freaks that were on !
Eric, are you stupid? It was a repeat against the Grammy's.
Ha! These rattings will be nutting compeared to ABC's Oscar ratings in a few weeka. Wit A-listers Franco and Hathaway leading the way. Purr sillyvulture is a louse. Noww off to Yogurt.
I just love how NBC has nothing else to put on but "Harry's Law". It airs like 4 times a week. I love the show and am so happy about it's success.
It's Grammys plural, not Grammy's possesive. Come on people.
Hey Just Me. Get a life and stop correcting people's grammar.
@Just Me: Should it not then be the "Grammies?"
@Kay: To be accurate, only one of the Harry's (or Harries) was a "repeat," the other was a "rerun."
ugh. copy and paste divet missing up agin worse than dat divet miss thang preta the divet. i mean when she wrote both "rerun" and "repeat" didnt she think "why am I using two diffrant worlds to say the sam thin? haha lol purr thin! Sillyvulture-vomiter is a louse. Noww back to Yoda.
First of all, I have a life, that's how I'm smart enough to spot the horrible grammar on here. Second, I'm not saying I'm perfect, far from it (you should see the soap scum on my shower door), but when I post a comment I do at least make it bearable to read by other people. Thanks for the response. Have a lovely day :)
